Hello Carlos! Happy new year! :-)
Leo just reminded me of this patch on IRC, and I feel guilty that it stood there for so long. Apologies! csanchez...@gmail.com (Carlos Sánchez de La Lama) skribis: > * gnu/packages/bootstrap.scm (glib-dynamic-linker): Add value for > powerpc-linux. > * gnu/packages/linux.scm (system->defconfig): New procedure. > (linux-libre-headers): Use system->defconfig. > * gnu/packages/cross-base.scm (xlinux-headers): Use system->defconfig. > * gnu/packages/gcc.scm (gcc-4.7): Add powerpc specific substitutions for > dynamic linker and start files locations. > * gnu/packages/make-bootstrap.scm (%gcc-static): Remove -lgcc_s added in > powerpc specific substitutions. I ended up splitting it in 3 patches (gcc, linux-libre, and glibc-dynamic-linker) that I just pushed to ‘core-updates’. I also added copyright lines for you where appropriate. Hope that’s fine! > I finally found some time to clean-up my work.

Commit 9410a5aa916035bb4d7f032a5fe81cfb497887c8 adds powerpc-linux-gnu cross-builds for Hydra (though Hydra is currently busy with the ‘staging’ branch.) > As Ludo suggested, I am also preparing a tutorial/blog on the porting > process. Awesome! Sorry again for the delay and the frustration it probably entailed. Cheers, Ludo’.
